BERLIN -- Battery packs have éBallphonebatteryisperfectforhardcorePokéonly one purpose: to charge up your phone and gadgets on the go. They don't look cool -- they're batteries.
This Poké Ball-shaped battery pack that I found at one obscure Chinese booth at tech show IFA 2016, however, might be the coolest battery pack I've ever seen. It's perfect for Pokémon Goaddicts.

The build quality surprised me with its glossy finish and clickable button (which doesn't open the Poké Ball, unfortunately).
It's hard to believe this is not an officially licensed product. I'm sure Nintendo and The Pokémon Company wouldn't approve.

No word on how much it costs, but seeing as it's produced by a Chinese company based in Shenzhen, it's probably going to be cheap (if you buy it wholesale).
